Miracleman on the joys of having a two-year-old:
She does have a tendency to go up to other people, point at me and say "That's my daddy."
So they know who to sue for damages, presumably.

This thread is for Buffista quotage. Posts that are profound, witty, or otherwise deserving of immortality go here. This is also Shrift's source for the BRQG, so be aware that if your words end up here, they'll also end up there. Finally, please note which thread spawned the quotage and please white-out anything that might be spoilery to Un-Americans.

Jessica in Beauracracy:
I suspect if we had access to a TARDIS, Bureaucraxxxy 327: Like Tolstoy, Only Longer would show us Emeline, Lily, Grace, Noah and Dylan bemoaning their inability to satisfactorily discuss whatever has replaced television in the future, and wondering why their parents thought Boxed Set was a good idea in the first place. And then setting up a poll to decide what once and for all how the problem could best be solved.
I can't believe this hasn't been commed yet. Miracleman, re NoiseDesign's gig for Nickelodeon:
Who lives in Pasadena, sorta near the sea?
NoiseBob DesignPants!
Kilted and wacky and pervy, is he!
NoiseBob DesignPants!
If theater sound and some porn do you wish...
NoiseBob DesignPants!
Then drop on your knees, and he'll show you his "fish"!
NoiseBob DesignPants!
NoiseBob DesignPants!
NoiseBob DesignPants!

NoiseBob...DesignPPAAAAAANNNTSSS!!!
From Bureaucracy, where I was lurking (though I'm not a lurker).
sarameg: If a lurker falls in the forest, do they make a post?
Miracleman: Probably, but it would look like "QLKEN@!#$%KLNwlknffaalekqower~{:LKJHYGTRowfuck."
Because of the broken fingers and whatnot.

Mea culpa.
Not maxima, though. Gotta draw the line somewhere.
On the Duggars
Cashmere: Can't really say anything about their obsession with J's considering my own with O's.
billytea: Until you're naming your sixteenth child 'Obiwan', I think you'll have a little space for the moral high ground.
Ginger: There's a microwave pizza box that directs you to put any loose toppings on the pizza. I'm trying to imagine someone paralyzed with doubt about what he should do with a piece of pepperoni that fell out of the wrapping.

The learned helplessness is bad, but it's the melodramatic "I don't know what to doooooo!!!1!" breast-beating that really chaps my ass. Listen, dude, all you have to do is click a link. I'm not asking you to file taxes in three states or properly use "Tazdingo!" in a sentence. It is a link. You click on it. No, you can't click on it "wrong". Good god, man, did you have some kind of traumatic Goatse.cx experience and swear you'd never click on a link again so long as you live?
Hec in Lit, unspoilery for William Gibson's Spook Country, but whitefonted for caution:
Which makes his book feel So Last Year.
Admittedly, it is set in 2006.
Tom Scola in Natter:
Man Boards Plane with Monkey Under his Hat.
No word on whether or not the hat was yellow.
